A WOMAN and a man were arrested in connection with an alleged assault, which left a 35-year-old man with serious head injuries.

The man was hurt near the Morrisons supermarket on Boundary Road on Saturday night.

On Sunday, police said they had responded to a ‘serious assault’ and the man was taken to the Walton Centre for treatment.

Earlier this week he was released from hospital.

Detectives confirmed a man and a woman, both aged 22 and from St Helens, were arrested in connection with assault, before being released on bail.
